Writing to his friend, after reading parts of Wiseman's letter to G.B. Smith, Tolkien agrees that the group (T.C.B.S.) has drifted apart but that it is in part to them not being able to meet regularly at the moment. he says they should work out what brings them together as a group.
Tolkien also explains that while he believes in the idea of nationalism and is a patriot, he says he is not a militarist, saying that he believes in "home rule". Tolkien then notes that some old college friends are visiting next weekend.
Tolkien mentions his relationship with Edith in this letter, and tells Wiseman that he doesn't want the TCBS and Edith to be unaware of each other.
